Best Modification Botats Car

Modifying a Honda Civic for maximum MPG
I started this project after the Hurricane Katrina-inspired gas price run up, as I have a long commute and, except for a few hybrids, the car companies were busy introducing models with ever poorer gas mileage.

Overview:

* Background - the car & aero influences
* Research & construction
* Coastdown testing to calculate Cd
* Update: lean burn engine installed for more MPG
* What fuel economy does it get?
* What's it like to drive?
* Compared to "regular" cars...
* Aero observations: bugs, leaves & deer
* The aerodynamic modifications in detail
* Cost
* Aerocivic media coverage & links
* Other aeromodded vehicles
